Abstract:This report describes a study of a proposed replacement for the McCook Port of Entry inspection station at the entry to South Dakota. In order to assess the potential for a low-speed weigh in motion (WIM) scale within the station to pre-screen trucks, the Westa (Weigh Station) simulation model was used to represent the current and alternate scenarios. Measures of effectiveness for a base case scenario confirmed congestion at the weigh station. It was determined that the construction of a replacement station with a WIM scale and an operating policy permitting most trucks to bypass the static scales would eliminate the congestion problems for current and project traffic loads.
